Right. I just use python manage.py… I just checked python3 manage.py and it doesn’t work.

Unsure how many of these are due to the shebang. That said, it looks like there are no good solutions other than maybe ensuring our docs always show the form python3 manage.py <command> rather than ./manage.py <command>.

(I'm not sure how this happens exactly.) My point is — there's no perfect solution. At best we can aim for a less imperfect solution than the status quo. -- Aymeric. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django developers (Contributions to Django itself)" group.
